MATTER OF B-F- CORP. 
Non-Precedent Decision of the 
Administrative Appeals Office 
DATE: SEPT. 13, 2019 
APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER DECISION 
PETITION: FORM 1-129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER 
The Petitioner , an insurance company, seeks to temporarily employ the Beneficiary as a "senior product 
analyst" under the H-lB nonimmigrant classification for specialty occupations. See Immigration and 
Nationality Act (the Act) section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b). The H-lB 
program allows a U.S. employer to temporarily employ a qualified foreign worker in a position that 
requires both ( a) the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge 
and (b) the attainment of a bachelor 's or higher degree in the specific specialty ( or its equivalent) as a 
minimum prerequisite for entry into the position. 
The Director of the California Service Center denied the petition , concluding that the Petitioner had 
not established that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation . On appeal, the Petitioner 
asserts that the Director erred in the decision. Upon de novo review, we will dismiss the appeal as the 
matter is now moot. 
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records indicate that the Petitioner filed another Form 
I-129, Petition for a Non immigrant Worker, seeking H-1 B classification on behalf of the Beneficiary 
and that the petition was approved. Because the Beneficiary has been approved for H-lB employment 
with the Petitioner , further pursuit of the matter at hand is moot. 
ORDER: The appeal is dismissed.
